HELD WITHOUT BAIL.
The End of the Harlan MUIR
der Examination.
WITNESSES ON THE STAND
Y esterday Morning-The Defense
Offers Very Little Evidence
Habeas Corpus Probable.

, Yesterday morning the first witness
called at the Woolsteen examination
was Mr.. Miner, formerly Secretary
Of the Farmers and Merchants Bank
As he was not present Officer Fitch
was recalled and examined by Col.
Wells.
"What was Hattic's condition on
8 unday, after she had taken the chic
oform ?" asked the counsel.
"She was in a very critical condi-
ton. She implored me to proclaim
her innocent to the world and to stay
and protect her. promised that l
would. She made me tell her that il
she died that l would take charge OF
her effects, and she said: You will
take the ring that Charlie gave to me
as my engagement ring.
John Miner next testified to hav-
ing bought a $1,000 bond from lady
in the month of August, while holding
the position of Cashier in the Farm
ers' and Merchants Bank. Further
evidence by this witness was objected
to by the defense upon the ground
that the prosecution was en-
deayoring to prove another offense
against the prisoner than the one for
which she was undergoing examina-
ton. The Court having sustained the
objection, the prosecution rested, and
Mr. Depuy, the District Attorney OF
the county, was placed on the stand
BY the defense. i,
He said: The articles connected
with the case were received by me
from Chief Darcy after the complaint
charging her with murder had been
fled. / saw them before Mr.. Craw-
ford sued out the writ of habeas cor
pus. The complaint was not filed
until the writ had been served. The
Chief spoke to me about this case on
the 14th, not earlier.
w. G.. Roberts. police officer, tes-
tilted that he remembered Mr.. White
coming to the prison and asking to see
Hattie Woolsteen, who was then in
the County Jail. His instructions
were to keep every one from her but
the Chief of Police, his officers and the
physicians. Ladies called, but were,
by Darcy's orders, prevented from
seeing the gill.
Hon. w. s. White took the stand
and stated that the evidence
given by Jeffries, the Police Sergean
respecting him was false. "Minnie
was discharged because l spoke to the
District Attorney and threatened the
Chief of Police if he did not discharge
her."
Police Sergeant Loomis and Officer
W. A. Bosqui were not allowed to
testify to certain facts desired to be
brought out by the defense.
The case was then submitted with.
out argument, and Justice Austin held
Hattie Woolsteen to answer without
bail.
Colonel Wells, interviewed by s
HERALD reporter after the conclusion
of the examination, stated that a wri
of habeas corpus would be sued out IL
order to have Hattie released OF
bonds, and stated emphatically' thai
bonds would be ready just as soon as
the court would let her out on bail. Il
is the desire OF the prosecution tt
have the case tried before the end o.
the year.

PASTORAL ADDRESS.
To the Heads of the Several
County Churches.

To the Heads of the several
County Churches.
The following address has been is
sued to the pastors OF the various
churches in this city and county:
DEAR BROTHER AS the result OF
previous action, the details Of which
it is unnecessary to give, on Sunday,
October 30th, a notice was read from
the various pulpits of the city, calling
a meeting of all Christian people for
the purpose of discussing the relation
of the church to the prohibition move
ment. The meeting was held at the
Fort Street M. +. Church and was
very generally attended. 1t was the
unanimous feeling expressed by
speakers of the evening that the time
for action had come and that the peo-
pie were now ready for general ad-
vance against the saloons. 1t was
also thought best to broaden the
movement and include all patriotic
Christian citizens and lovers OF law
and order, without regard to creed,
nationality or sex-in other words to
arraign the homes Of Los Angeles in
one solid phalanx against the saloon.
By this meeting committee, con-
sisting OF five members, was appoint
ed to issue an address to the churches
OF the city for the purpose OF inducing
them to add two members each, and
the committee, thus increased, to
constitute an executive committee to
inauyurate general temperance
movement in this city.
Clothed with this authority, the un-
dersigned have decided to publish a
call to all who are favorable to such
action as is here contemplated, and
hope for the hearty cooperation OF all
to whom this call is addressed. By
action of this committee it was de-
cided that every religious organiza-
ton be represented on the executive
committee by its pastor and one mem
Der.
We would therefore urge the relig-
ious societies to which this call is ad-
dressed to give it their early consider
alton. Please choose representatives
who are in hearty sympathy with the
principles of temperance, and see that
they are furnished with proper ere :
dentials to act on this committee.
The executive committee will meet
next Monday evening, November 7th,
in the lecture room Of e Trinity M.
E. church South, on Fort street, be-
tween Fifth and Sixth. 1t is expect
cd that all who have been appointed
by the churches as members of this
committee will be present and take
part in the aggressive campaign
which will then and there be outlined
and inaugurated.
We would urge all to consider we'll
the importance and high character OF
this movement. 1t is not the out
growth of faction or a creed, but a
general uprising of the sober, relig-
ious element of Los Angeles.
We make our appeal in the name OF
humanity, Let us labor for an abate-
ment OF the greatest curse of the age
let us assert in an unmistakeable man.
ner our manhood and patriotism.

Some months ago the floors of many
Austrian garrisons were painted with
tar, and the results have proved SO
uniformly advantageous that the
method is becoming greatly extended
in its application. The collection of
dust in cracks is thus prevented, and a
consequent diminution in irritating
diseases of the eye has been noted.
Cleanliness of the rooms has been
greatly facilitated and parasites are
almost completely excluded. The
coat of tar is inexpensive, requires re-
newal but once year and presents
but one disadvantage, namely, its
sombre color.

A POOR RULE.

People are advised by every home
philosopher and household sage, to
curtail their expenses, live within
their means, and practice patience
and economy until the "goOd old
times" of mony-making return
again. This might be well enough
for the farmer, who can hardly raise
his crops at present prices; or for
the merchant or business man, who
has scant margins in the closest
competition or for the laboring
man, who has nothing left after his
rent and living expenses are paid s.
but why are the spectators, the
professional men, and the Office
holding classes permitted to make
as much money or more as they did
when times we're fush." If every
thing has to come down to about
living level with the working people
and consumers, why shouldn't fees
and salaries and speculative profits
come down accordingly? 1t is a
poor rule and it works against the
working people.

AFRAID OF THE TRUTH.

The political opponents of the
Knights of Labor hesitate at moth.
ing in their efforts to cripple the
cause and bring its principles into
contempt and disfavor. They paint
them as Republican or Democratic
bugbears when it suits their purpose
best. But the most sneaking device
is to connect the advocates of Labor
with the Henry George and DR.. Nc
Glynn land ideas. The Knights of
Labor and the cause of labor existed
before these gentlemen were born,
and will continue long after they
and their traducers shall have
gone where misrepresentation will
avail nothing. When Cardinal Glib.
bons plead for q fair hearing and
just consideration of the Knights of
Labor demands, there were those,
and especially the religious press,
who found fault with such advocacy
and tried to break the force of it by
maintaining that it referred to the
labor cause alone and not to it in
connection with the x. of L.. Secret
ly they condemned the Cardinals
liberality; it sayored too much ofre-
publican principles, the church being
intensely democratic, and "no poll.
tics" in religion. But it has turned
out since that the decision was made
upon a square issue of the Knights
Of Labor as the organization stands,
with the promise of more attention
to the labor question in general
hereafter.
The knights of Labor have good
and worthy cause, the gaining of
which will depend upon their future
course as a body. If they succeed
in improving their condition, that
much good will have been accom-
plished by organization. They are
an intelligent and useful body Of
men, opposed to being crowded down
by the unjust demands of capital, or
oppressed by corrupt legislation in
the interest of monopOlies and cor
porations, which prosper by their
labor. In politics they have sense
enough to discharge their duties
without the interference of any par.
ty. If the order escapes the treacb-
cry of false leaders, and becomes not
the dupe of any political party, it
may be the means of protecting and
elevating of Labor in the great strug-
gle for power and wealth now going

1t is said Governor Beaver will
save the State of Pennsylvania
81 100000 by the use of his veto.
The bills appropriating money for
monuments to Meade, Hancock and
Jennie Wade at Gettysburg, and
Fitzpatrick, at Hanover, have been
vetoed. One reason is the failure
of the revenue bill to become a law.
The drain in other directions will
exhaust present resources. The
Baltimore american says the veto is
mightier than legislative body, in
the hands of a good governor, and
that such a one is needed In Mary
land. In West Virginia Bourbon
Legislature pays emo attention " to
any power or authority of the Gov
ornor, and a veto upon any action
of the "old stagers would have
about the same effect as the kick
of q Maryland Ditch " mule upon
the cheek of a Baltimore "ring "
politician.

60 to work at the saw again, fearing
an accident to his well eye, but went
to driving an OK team as about the
safest work he could do. A few
days ago he was driving his oxen,
when he struck one of them with
his whip, which had hard leather
lash. The lash wound around the
ox's leg, and the tip end of the lash,
piece of leather about the size of a
pea, was snapped off. 1t flew into
Derby's well eye with such force
that it cut the eyeball open and des-
troyed the sight, rendering Derby
totally blind. The same day Louis
Caughey, of Fairview, cousin of
Derby's, who lost an eye some time
before in a saw mill, was driving q
horse along the road, when a small
stone was thrown by the horses
hoof. 1t struck Caughey IN his we'll
